Development to Continue in Panama City

Hotelsmag.com has just profiled Panama City in an article called “Panama: Hotel Hot Spot” and claims that Panama City is “the new business hub of the Americas” due to its positioning between North and South Americas.

Many are claiming that Panama will compete with Costa Rica in terms of development as local developers have stated that they are not slowing down on development projects. There are currently 19 different hotel projects in development for over 4000 rooms, including Nikki Beach, Renaissance, Westin and Le Meridien projects.

In Panama, banking and hospitality industries have remained solid and there are also tax incentives to encourage hotel and tourism development. It was recently announced that the port of Colon will also now be a home port for Royal Caribbean cruise line.

The tourism council of Panama is looking to attract the European market in the next few years, as over 200,000 visited the country in 2008. For full details on Panama’s growth, click here to read the entire Hotelsmag.com article.
